Hi Melly,
Babydust to you! I am sorry to hear about your loss

Is your cycle back on track?

I'm still bleeding, (its day 4) although quite lightly, I actually thought I would bleed heavier than this? Not even been as heavy as a normal AF, is that normal?

Think I might have been a bit naive about this, but I just presumed as I was only 5 weeks I would just really get a normal AF and then my cycles would return to normal straight away?

I've started taking B100 complex yesterday, to try to increase my LP, which is only 10 days. Not sure if that could have caused the MC or not?

Melly,

Question, have your cycles always had a short LP? I did buy some B100 as well, because my first cycle after D&C had a 10 day LP. But then I talked to my OB nurse and she said that it's normal for cycles to be screwed up for 2-3 months after a D&C. So I did take 3 days worth of B100 on CD1,2,3, but then I decided to stop because I wondered if it would mess up my cycle. I figure if my body is in the regulatory phase right now, I'd better not mess with it because it's probably a fluke. That's just what I've decided.

Tiptoes, is your OH in the same country as you now? or do you gets visitations from him? Just curious, as I see you're in Germany and assume your from US. I would miss the hell outta Target!

Sorry to hear you have to order them rather than going to a local store to pick some up I got mine from Boots, a local store/chemist Night night, take care xx

 

[jacksonsmommy]

I get my OPK's and pt's from https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/
They are so cheap, so I order a whole bunch at a time!

 

[Excalibur]

I get my PT's from the £1 shop. You get two in a pack. They work just as well as any others so why not haha! x

 

[Dahlia2007]

We have a $1 here in US, and I get my HPTs from there. But I get my OPKs online (better deal) as I'll need more OPKs than I will HPT

 

[mellywelly]

I get mine off eBay, about £3 for 20 I think.

Yes it's always short. A 25 day cycle with a 10 lp. When TTC my ds it was a 28 day cycle and so presume lp was longer. Not sure why it's changed?

Urgh, I have cramps today. Pregnancy tests are still coming out negative, and today's OPK was... confusing. Wonder if maybe I'm ovulating (I usually get mild cramps when I do) or if my period's about to start early? I'd be happy with either one right now, any sign of my system going back to normal would be great!

Melly - can a short LP cause miscarriage? I was under the impression it could affect you conceiving in the first place or could increase the chance of a chemical pregnancy, but I've never heard about it causing miscarriages later than that. I could just be uninformed though, I suppose.

 

[Dahlia2007]

Silver- I do know that short LPs cause a low implantation rate, but as for miscarriages, it doesn't really qualify because if your LP is short, the egg would have trouble implanting anyways so it wouldn't work out, so it's not really a miscarriage per se.

I do hope it's either O of AF for you! Better get to BD just in case!

 

[mellywelly]

Sorry mine was chemical, but I still call it an mc as to me it was still my baby. But that's what I mean, with a 10 day lp, does this mean I may never get a good implant?

 

[silverlizard]

Melly - does it still count as a chemical at 5 weeks? I miscarried at about 5 weeks last year and always thought of it as a miscarriage... I thought chemical pregnancy was when basically your period arrived at the time it usually would and you would likely never even know you were pregnant unless you'd tested early. Maybe I have my terms mixed up, I'm really sorry if I'm sounding insensitive

I would have thought if you'd got to five weeks though, you most likely did have a good implant and the mc happened for another reason, so maybe that is a hopeful sign?

 

[Excalibur]

I don't blame you, they work just the same as the more expensive HPT's haha. I have never ordered PT's or OPK's online, I only started bothering with my Ovulation once we had our Miscarriage The one's I got from Boots, there were 7 tests in a box so therefore I got 14 as it was buy one get one free. That came to about £30! Fingers crossed we won't need anymore for a while after these lot!

 

[mellywelly]

No offence taken. I thought chemical was before a heartbeat would start? So anything before say 8 weeks is a chemical? But I could be, and usually am completely wrong!

 

[jacksonsmommy]

I had my mc at 5 weeks too and they said it was a chemical. I am not sure if it really mattered to me as I was still disappointed. Oh well, that is all behind us now ladies!!!

 

[Dahlia2007]

Hey Melly, I by no means was trying to make it less than what it was. I would have called it a MC too. I was just describing the facts of what a short LP could imply. I guess the ideal LP would be to have more than a 10 days. But Because mine was 10 last time I have been reading others' personal experiences with it, and many ladies have had a full pregnancy with their 10 day LP.
